Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)

2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x

2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x

2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x

(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=2

2x−2=2

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=2+2

2x=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

4
